it has been a year
everglow on shuffle
mum’s crying in the corner
dad locked himself in the room.
seeing you still
at peace
breathe-less.
it takes me back
not to the memories
but the after- memories.
you left me all alone
without saying a goodbye
a coffee stain on a cloth
on a cloudy day
i didn’t anticipate the rain to fall
it feels like yesterday
but it’s been a year
you’re nowhere to be found
you’re a cloud in my sky
that persists to remind me
of the sunshine that
you stole.
and i miss you
and the places we’d never walk
and the moments we’d never have
and the colours we’d never see.
you live in my memory
and i don’t blame you for
leaving me the way you did.
